Dental IT Consulting – Minnesota

Dental practices including orthodontists and endodontists in Minnesota face a variety of challenges when it comes to managing IT systems. In an age of increasingly complex software, Dentistry Today reports 97% of all U.S. practices are at high risk of security vulnerabilities.

Dealing with outdated technology, equipment maintenance and the need to constantly update software often disrupts patient care. Some elect to rely on an internal person or team to deal with immediate issues, which can put long-term IT and cybersecurity concerns on the back burner. Some elect to handle technology themselves, which pulls you away from caring for patients. Both approaches can expose dental practices to additional risks which can have serious consequences.

Working with an outside provider can alleviate many challenges for busy practices. An outsourced technology partner works to ensure the technology infrastructure is optimized for the practice’s specific needs. By working with a team that understands dental practices and the unique challenges faced, this frees up time to focus on what matters most – providing high-quality dental care to patients.

About the Minnesota (MN) Dental Community

The Minnesota dental community is a dynamic and multifaceted network dedicated to promoting oral health across the state. Central to this community is the Minnesota Dental Association (MDA), a professional organization representing over 3,000 licensed dentists and dental students. The MDA plays a pivotal role in advocacy, professional development, and public education, striving to maintain high standards of dental care and accessibility throughout Minnesota.

A distinctive feature of Minnesota’s dental landscape is its pioneering adoption of dental therapists. In 2009, Minnesota became the first U.S. state to authorize the licensing of dental therapists, aiming to address disparities in dental care access, particularly in underserved and rural areas. These mid-level practitioners perform preventive and basic restorative services under the supervision of dentists. Research indicates that their integration has led to increased productivity in dental clinics, enhanced access to care, and improved patient satisfaction.
